| The Perfect Desktop--gOS 1.0.1 Nov 8, 2007 by Falko Timme "This tutorial shows how you can set up a gOS 1.0.1 desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge. gOS is a lightweight Linux distribution, based on Ubuntu 7.10, that comes with Google Apps and some other Web 2.0 applications; it uses the Enlightenment 17 window manager instead of GNOME or KDE..."

| My review of gOS Space (v2.9) 2008-04-13 by Matthew Daly: "You will all no doubt be aware that a few months back I reviewed the original gOS, and I was enthusiastic about it. In my opinion, the original gOS was a great Linux distribution for the average computer user - someone who used it to write up a few documents, send a few emails, and surf the Internet a bit. With its emphasis on web apps, it was not only an ideal operating system for casual users, but was an indication of where desktop computing appears to be headed, with the real work being done "in the cloud", with the desktop just the front end for that. |

gOS is a series of Linux distributions created by 'Good OS LLC', a Los Angeles-based corporation. The company advertised it as "An alternative OS with Google Apps and other Web 2.0 apps for the modern user." This first version gOS (1.0.1_386) was based on Ubuntu 7.10 and the Enlightenment Windows manager E17.
On January 7, 2008, a test version (2.0.0-beta1) of gOS, intended to demonstrate the CloudBook and named "gOS Rocket", was released at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show. This version too was E17 based. However, the definitive second version of gOS debuted end February 2008[citation needed], together with the launch of Everex's new CloudBook, the gBook laptop, and a new, second version of the gPC, the "encore". This version was called gOS V2 Rocket, and was completely rewritten and now based on the GNOME windows manager, Compiz fusion, and the Avant Window Navigator. It was not publicly available at that time, just installed on these systems. On April 6, 2008, Good OS launched a new publicly available version of gOS, called gOS 2.9 "Space", intended for the gPC mini, this version is especially geared towards MySpace users, and is also based on Compiz fusion, Gnome, and the Avant Window Navigator dock manager, but it also uses E17 code. It has a Dock with a "stack" very much like the "fan view" of Mac OS X v10.5.
